automatic

Hola. In case you guys didn’t know I have a few goldfish and they get pretty hungry sometimes so yesterday I went and got a new automatic fish feeder for them. Just figured I’d share a few tips on the matter as there’s a lot of info out there.

Automatic fish feeders are used to dispense food at regular intervals and are used to replace a manual feeding. They are used to help forgetful fish owners or those who travel a lot and don’t want to have to worry about their fish getting fed. Getting them fed regularly will help to strengthen your relationship with them.
